| Summary: | In recent years, inflated structure is being widely applied for adaptive UAVs due to its exceptional characteristics, including weight-saving, survivability after collision and easily configured. These wonderful characteristics enable the UAVs to be contractible/deployable, warping and morphing wing. However, there are still serious short-comings with these inflated wings, including the ultra-high compressed-air pressure, difficulty in wing-profile shaping and unreliable. Hence this project proposes a new design that uses Planar Kagome lattice to reinforce the core air-beam. |
